Shrink Labelers/Neck Banders

PDC International Corp. introduces an iteration of its R Series shrink banders. PDC R Series shrink banders label and neck band at line speeds from 400 to 1000 cpm. Engineered for 24/7 service, with continuous material web flow that doesn’t pause for cutting, R Series machines apply, with precision and repeatability, 1-3.75-in-diam bands at heights up to 2.375 in. This makes them suited to a broad range of shrink sleeve labeling tasks.  

R Series systems are designed for high levels of compliance and sanitation required in the pharmaceutical, food, and dairy industries. Systems feature ink jet and thermal transfer coding, 2D and bar code scanning, and vision system inspection. IQ/OQ documents can also be generated for regulatory compliance.

PDC R-Series shrink banders have the capability to apply thin gauge (1 to 1.5 mils, 25 to 40 micron) banding materials, and are compatible with all shrink sleeve films, including PVC, PET, PETG, OPS, and PLA films.

R Series shrink banders are single-headed, in-line, tamper-evident, robust, and easy to use. The operator touch screen and PLC are Allen- Bradley. Systems can be supplied with a “zero-downtime splice-on-the-fly” accumulator unwind stand that eliminates downtime for roll changes. Changing from one product to the next is quick and efficient, thanks to PDC’s tool-less changeover feature and motorized height adjustment with pre-set positions.
